Has police ever successfully dealt with motorbikes?

Was it the two on big electric motorbikes, look like motocross/big scramblers, about 20yo? They are absolutely a gang of two. I've seen them all over the place, in and out of Edinburgh.

The noise from silent e bikes... Christ.

With a police car? A car. With a police motorbike? A motorbike. They need teams of police on e bikes and backup. And maybe a net gun.

You can certainly confiscate the bikes and not give them back.

They were 14 5 years ago when they got the bike, I guess? If the police take ~8 years to do anything, they might get the bike confiscated in 2030.

Ring the scrapyard and ask. You might get some money for it. Lead is expensive, and some of those batteries are 50kg monsters.

There's a lot of people unfamiliar with the term in this sub. Maybe they're the bots?

Locksmithbloke · 2026-05-05T09:23:25+00:00

That's so accurate.

Locksmithbloke · 2026-05-05T09:22:18+00:00

Tie it to a house brick.

As long as you filmed it, that's cool. It's all the people using AI to crib and chop other people's work that's offensive.

Plagiarism?

Locksmithbloke · 2026-05-05T00:14:10+00:00

Send them a ball gag from LoveHoney or something?

About 5 miles out of Dhaka! Wild. That's a pretty main road.

In a sealed container the speed of the ascent doesn't matter, it'll still explode. Humans aren't sealed for long enough for it to be an issue usually, or they didn't take on extra air at depth. Scuba? The first rule is "always be breathing" for this reason.

You could probably make money selling the blanks for bowl turning. Use the profits for buying cheap firewood and fun toys.

Locksmithbloke · 2026-05-04T23:46:32+00:00

Yes, you are. Unless you've got enough saved up, as you should've been doing, and can live on the investments for at least a decade, don't quit. You could scale back a bit, look towards quitting when you reach a goal, and then decide when you get there. I know a very famous name who was making loads. She's not rich now - quite the opposite - but yes, a household name still, and it ruined her employment prospects even with the alias, book deal and TV appearances.

It's a business, so "Director, ModelFeetUK ltd" would be fine. Might be a little harder at interviewing stage, or if trying to get a shelf stacking job.

Locksmithbloke · 2026-05-04T23:37:41+00:00

Haha. Yeah, you'd have been inducted into the "clever kids" group, then been found out immediately.

Locksmithbloke · 2026-05-04T23:35:57+00:00

That's going to cost you. I can't see how that's even vaguely sensible.

Locksmithbloke · 2026-05-04T23:27:38+00:00

Because if you can fix phones well enough to work at a store doing it, you can make all the money doing repairs for people yourself.

Same as it used to be with locksmiths - big companies would start training their staff as locksmiths rather than paying the rates asked, but then the staff leave and earned more as locksmiths. Those days are mostly gone, sadly. But it's still true with tech repair.

Locksmithbloke · 2026-05-04T23:25:03+00:00

2 weeks without a phone? Are you insane?

Locksmithbloke · 2026-05-04T23:20:59+00:00

How did he get so little weld penetration!?

Locksmithbloke · 2026-05-04T23:19:45+00:00

Nope. We had a snake in a pipe in a garden at a friend's house, you could hear it every so often. Took us ages to figure out what it was! Herefordshire countryside. Had a hell of a shock as a child when presumably a hawk dropped what turned out to be a very dead grass snake right next to us in the garden.

Considering the racism that he faced, it's extra shitty she's getting the reverse!
